Hey, my name is Hemali (they/them). I'm currently a PhD student in the Memory Optimization Lab at Rutgers University supervised by Qiong Zhang. Memories are central to our mind's ability to solve problems. My research focuses on: understanding how people remember, particularly how we remember with others, and how we remember naturalistic events. I use computational tools and modeling to answer these questions.

Model of Memory search in Groups
HA, Charlotte A. Cornell, Qiong Zhang
[paper]
[slide deck]
In group memory, collaborative inhibition is the counter-intuitive finding that a group of people recalling information together remembers less than the same number of individuals recalling alone. This work extends a context-based account of memory search to explain collaborative inhibition.
Linking Summarization & Memory recall

[talk]
One's ability to provide good summaries is constrained by their ability to recall information from the original event. On the other hand, realistic memory recall resembles summarization. This work formally analyzes the relationship between summarization and memory recall, showing the similarities and differences between the tasks.
